- Slim Profile: Despite its robust appearance, the watch is designed to be remarkably thin and comfortable on the wrist.
- Movement: Known for exceptional craftsmanship, Royal Oak models often feature ultra-thin automatic movements or intricate complications like perpetual calendars, chronographs, and tourbillons.
- Water Resistance: Most models are water-resistant, emphasizing its sporty-luxury appeal.

The collection has expanded to include different sizes, complications, and materials, such as the Royal Oak Offshore for a more rugged, sport-oriented look, and the Royal Oak Concept for avant-garde designs.
